Hi,

With automake master, on an Ubuntu 22.04 system (with Python 3.10), I get
a reproducible test failure:

FAIL: t/python-prefix

Find the log below.

If I understand it correctly, the problem is that the test's lines
  py_inst_site=inst/lib/python$py_version/site-packages
and
  py_installed "$py_inst_site"/one.py
expect that "make install" creates a file
  inst/lib/python3.10/site-packages/one.py .
But that's not what it does. Instead it creates a file
  inst/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/one.py

Note the two relevant differences:
  - a 'local/' has been inserted,
  - 'site-packages' has been replaced with 'dist-packages'.

Here's the full file list after "make install":

$ find inst -type f | LC_ALL=C sort
inst/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/__pycache__/one.cpython-310.opt-1.pyc
inst/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/__pycache__/one.cpython-310.opt-2.pyc
inst/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/__pycache__/one.cpython-310.pyc
inst/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/one.py
inst/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/python-prefix/__pycache__/pkgtwo.cpython-310.opt-1.pyc
inst/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/python-prefix/__pycache__/pkgtwo.cpython-310.opt-2.pyc
inst/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/python-prefix/__pycache__/pkgtwo.cpython-310.pyc
inst/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/python-prefix/pkgtwo.py

There's some discussion about this 'local/' part in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2026979

    With automake master, on an Ubuntu 22.04 system (with Python 3.10), 

I don't believe anyone has tried Automake with Python 3.10 before.  Mike
and Bogdan put in quite a bit of work getting the current tests to work
with other versions of Python. Evidently every Python version does new
and different incompatible things.

Regrettably, I can't debug or fix this (or anything wrt Python).
I hope you or someone else can provide a patch.

Thanks for the report. -k

Subject: [bug#54412] [bug#64837] Fix Python on Debian
Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2024 22:46:51 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello.

 Referring to the discussion related to the upcoming release, I
confirm defect #64837 on Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) and I confirm
that the last patch in #54412 (the one attached in the defect in
Message#14 - https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=54412#14,
not the one inlined) fixes the issue.
 I'm also attaching a "double-safe" version, with a simple try-except
added, falling back to the old default, just in case. Also tested,
also fixes the issue.
 You can apply whichever you choose.

I installed Bogdan's version of Stefano's patch from #54412.
Fingers crossed. -k
